December 7, 2023 - I am not really sure what I am doing but it worked. I had to add an extra record, as mentioned in this page that I share. That solved it. Under the @ records I added a TXT with TTL:300 and in the data field I used the code that Squarespace gives you with a lot of letter and numbers (under host, type CNAME).

r/squarespace on Reddit: I need help with linking a GoDaddy site to Squarespace
June 23, 2021 -

We have our site made through Squarespace & ready to publish but I am having issues linking the site through GoDaddy. I went through the steps & am having an issue with the DNS settings. The DNS settings on Squarespace have 4/6 listed as "Record not found". The two that are found are ext-cust.squarespace & a 198.185 IP address. The verify.squarespace & the three other 198.xxx IP addresses are the four that state 'Record not found'.

Can someone help with figuring this out? I've tried using Google but I'm unable to turn up with a step by step guide. This is a website for a company that I work for & I am far from an expert with websites so I want to make sure I don't mess anything up.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Go to Squarespace settings and click "connect a domain". There's a pretty seamless built in Go-Daddy connector now. Is this what you used?
